I wouldn't worry about that. For one, these are most likely going to be 2-3 year old games, so nothing competing with the new, full priced retail releases. Two, as long as Sony is making millions on HW sales, they are going to keep making HW. If sales for the top console drop below 40M, then we may have to worry about there not being anymore HW. And finally, next gen is most likely going to be true 4K gaming, with possibly checkerboard rendering used by those who want to push the visuals even more. Streaming at 720p, maybe 900p by then, is going to pale greatly in comparison, especially for those who have 4K TVs. Hell, even 1080p screens will benefit from supersampling.
